Actually, I wish that we would NOT be doing this. Separate modules should be packaged separately, because otherwise, as we have it now: 1) updating a module requires repackaging (and redownloading, and reinstalling...) the entire perl; 2) alternatively, the modules just get neglected and go stale; 3) some modules have binary dependencies which the perl core does not have, e.g. XML-LibXML. IMO these should all be broken out. (Hint: as Eric just discovered, packaging perl modules is *really* easy with cygport. But then again, I'm biased.)
